In photography and cinematography, framing is a technique used to bring the focus to the subject.

Frames serve the double purpose of making a more aesthetically pleasing image and keeping the focus on the framed object(s). They add depth to the image, and can add a great deal to the picture when the frame is something related to the object being framed.

A very popular framing technique is Vignetting.
